I have been in the non-profit sector for about six years and have a passion to help those who are disenfranchised from safe, affordable housing — those who have been displaced by skyrocketing rents and those who are simply forgotten. I get a sense of satisfaction from moving someone from a place of hopelessness and despair to a place of hope and purpose.
From delivering food and survival supplies to neighbors living under bridges, to opening his garage to people who needed a safe place to sleep, Eric Mills has always worked to offer a hand up when someone needs it. After several years helping families transition into housing at Hamilton Families, Eric now brings the talents and tenacity of a salesman to recruit landlords and property managers to rent their units to people exiting homelessness. Through his work as a Housing Manager, Eric helps more people play an active role in advancing solutions to homelessness in every neighborhood of San Francisco.
Eric establishes strong relationships, building trust and enthusiasm with property providers, who often end up calling on him to fill newly-vacant units with Brilliant Corners clients.
